What students are saying about this course

“The True Purpose® Coach Training turned out to be one of the most transformational coaching trainings in the shortest of times! The alchemy of personal transformation, deep personal purpose work, professional coach training and excellent mentoring while applying the True Purpose® coaching process with real practicum clients was incredibly rich. It’s a commitment – in time and energy – but the trainers at the True Purpose® Institute make it fun, very informative and they guide with a lot of love, generosity and personal commitment to your success. Helping your clients to know their purpose through Tim Kelley’s True Purpose® process will change their lives. It has for me.”

“As a business consultant and executive coach working with conscious leaders, this is the most practical, and broadly appealing method of cultivating guidance that I have encountered. I’m easily able to deliver the program to my clients and describe the work with a compelling passion that attracts those who are ready, willing and able to dive deep in service to their life’s purpose.”

~ Carri Munn, Principal at Context for Action

“This course is not just about training you to be a coach skilled and confident in helping others find their true purpose. It is also about you more fully realizing your true purpose. You cannot fully participate in this course and not undergo a transformation yourself… a re-alignment that brings joy to the heart. As a career and transition coach I have coached entrepreneurial clients to find their purpose for over 10 years. During that time I have offered processes that were insightful but nothing like as embracing and potentially impactful as Tim Kelly’s process for discovering one’s true purpose. This process, the one that you are taught and experience in this training, is a gem and I can’t wait to introduce it to the clients that come to me to discover their true purpose and make a difference in the world.”

~ Fiona Miller PCC, Career Coach and Live Your Truth Expert

“Being able to be trained to use the True Purpose method to help my clients find purposeful career paths was very beneficial for me personally and to the direction of my business. Before the training course, the essence of my business was very focused on logical and actionable strategies, but I knew it was missing something, which was heart. I knew I needed to find a method to be able to bridge the gap between the heart and mind to be able to truly coach my clients more effectively through their purpose finding journeys. This training course has really helped me not only be a better coach to my clients, but being able to do the TP process for myself has connected me in a more authentic level with my own business and mission.”

~ Lydia Lee, Cubicle Crashing Ninja, Screw The Cubicle

“I have gotten a great deal of benefit from the True Purpose Coach Training program. It is the deepest program I know of and it gives more specific purpose information than other programs because of it. It teaches a step-by-step for taking clients through the purpose process. The teachers are warm, very smart, highly skilled, and easy to talk to. The classes are interesting and inspiring. There is ample opportunity for practicing your new skills. As part of the training, you get to do the purpose process for yourself and that is very valuable in and of itself. I highly recommend this course.

UPDATE: I got my True Purpose license 8 years ago and while I used parts of the process frequently in my work with entrepreneurs, I wasn’t using the entire process. I loved helping entrepreneurs thrive in their purpose inspired businesses, and I still do some of that work, but after a while I wanted to follow my own purpose more directly by helping clients to uncover their calling, bring it into their life in a practical way, and thrive on their path. I wanted to be really good at taking clients through the full purpose process. At the suggestion of someone in the community, I repeated the coach training.

It has been a wonderful experience! It brought me back in touch with the community, the mindset of this work and the spiritual inspiration of it. The program was good when I first took it but it’s even better now due to various upgrades to the overall process since Tim Kelley originally wrote his purpose book. I found it easier to bring my clients through the full process now having repeated the coach training in 2017. My skills have really improved and I have a much greater comfort level with this work. My clients have come through the program beautifully and I am moved to be able to be a witness to this sacred work. I am so glad that I decided to do this and am so grateful for my teachers, Audrey and Chris in helping me grow and demonstrating the beautiful spirit of this program.”

~ Irene Gutmann MSW, Founder Eagle Purpose and Marketing Coaching

“It’s hard to know where to begin to describe the way that True Purpose Coaching has changed my life. I suppose the fact that I’ve opened a coaching practice in spite of my lack of intention to actually BE a coach is the strongest testimonial I can offer. I had initially signed up for True Purpose Coach Training to learn my own purpose since I was in a career transition after selling my company. And I figured some formal coaching skills wouldn’t hurt wherever I go next as a leader.

By the end of the twelve-week program, I learned my purpose and realized that becoming a purpose and leadership coach was the best way for me to fulfill it and amplify my impact. I’ve since taken several trainings with the True Purpose Institute, which have not only deepened my coaching skills but transformed me in a profound way, since I’m required to go through everything I would do with my clients. I recommend this program for an experienced coach or anyone looking to get into coaching that blends structure and spirituality to help people know and love themselves through and through.”
